05). Sleep onset time was significantly later following low, medium, and high summated heart-rate-zones game workloads, compared with control nights (P < .05). Time in bed and sleep duration were significantly shorter following high PL and sRPE game workloads compared with control nights (P < .05). Following low, medium, and high training workloads, sleep duration and quality were similar to control nights (P > .05).

Following high PL and sRPE game workloads, basketball practitioners should consider strategies that facilitate longer time in bed, such as napping and/or adjusting travel or training schedules the following day.

To investigate the relationships between external and internal workloads using a comprehensive selection of variables during basketball training and games.

Eight semiprofessional, male basketball players were monitored during training and games for an entire season. External workload was determined as PlayerLoad™ total and high-intensity accelerations, decelerations, changes of direction, and jumps and total low-intensity, medium-intensity, high-intensity, and overall inertial movement analysis events. Internal workload was determined using the summated-heart-rate zones and session rating of perceived exertion models. The relationships between external and internal workload variables were separately calculated for training and games using repeated-measures correlations with 95% confidence intervals.

PlayerLoad was more strongly related to summated-heart-rate zones (r = .88 ± .03, very large [training]; r = .69 ± .09, large [games]) and session rating of perceived exertion (r = .74 ± .06, very large [traarly during training sessions compared with games. Basketball practitioners may therefore be able to best anticipate player responses when prescribing training drills using these variables for optimal workload management across the season.The interest in the measurement of thoron (220Rn) activity concentration in air has recently increased, with the attention for the development of standards useful for the calibration of measuring instruments. Due to its short half-life (55.8 s), consolidated techniques for the realization and the use of controlled atmospheres of radon (222Rn) are not effective in the case of thoron. New adequate methodology are required. A method for the measurement of the thoron reference activity based on the direct detection of the alpha particles produced by the decay of 220Rn, from natural samples containing 232Th, is here proposed. The possibility of observing an acceptable spectrum is entrusted to the realization of measurement chambers small enough to reduce as much as possible the energy loss of the alpha particles before they reach the Silicon detector. Such a chamber was realized and used with a known thoron atmosphere in a controlled environment. The experimental results are compared with those obtained from the simulation with the Monte Carlo method (i) the alpha spectra coming directly from thoron atoms exhibit similar shape with a linear trend plus an exponential trend on the left side of the 220Rn peak, depending from the distance between source and detector; (ii) the corresponding 220Rn detection efficiency values are compatible considering the uncertainties. An investigation was conducted to study the shape of the 220Rn spectra vs the different volume of chambers, through Monte Carlo simulations. The results show (i) the linear part of the spectra shape goes to reduce with the increasing of the height of the chamber; (ii) the 220Rn detection efficiency decreases with the increasing of the height of the chamber.Therapeutic recreation programs utilize leisure to maximize a person's overall health and well-being. The focus of this study is a professional experience placement held within an outdoor recreation center involving student nurses and people with a lived experience of mental illness. The study aimed to explore student nurse's beliefs about their practice within the program setting. An ethnographic case study approach was used to focus on the development of student nurse practice in this setting. The analytic strategy derived the themes of the ethnographic case study, namely 'who's who', 'clinical contrast' and 'recreation as practice'. A non-traditional mental health clinical placement would seem to have the potential in providing a new set of skills and experiences to these future nurses that may complement the scope of recovery-orientated care. BMS-345541 order The therapeutic recreation program provided the student with an experience where they could develop therapeutic relationships with people a lived experience of mental illness.It is well established that individuals have strong attachment to many possessions, but they cannot keep all these possessions forever. Disposition has received relatively limited attention in the literature though it is clear that disposition is significantly influenced by attachment. We review the burgeoning number of studies examining how possession attachment influences disposition. Attachment is influential at each stage of the disposition process, from the decision to stop using an object, the decision to dispose of an object, and the choice of disposal type. We end with a call for further research on disposal, particularly that which considers the role of object attachment at earlier stages of the disposition process.Bovine tuberculosis is an important animal health problem and the predominant cause of zoonotic tuberculosis worldwide. It results in serious economic burden due to losses in productivity and the cost of control programmes. Control could be greatly improved by the introduction of an efficacious cattle vaccine but the most likely candidate, BCG, has several limitations including variable efficacy. Augmentation of BCG with a subunit vaccine booster has been shown to increase protection but the selection of antigens has hitherto been left largely to serendipity. In the present study, we take a rational approach to identify the protective antigens of BCG, selecting a BCG transposon mutant library in naïve and BCG-vaccinated cattle. Ten mutants had increased relative survival in vaccinated compared to naïve cattle, consistent with loss of protective antigen targets making the mutants less visible to the BCG immune response. The immunogenicity of three putative protective antigens, BCG_0116, BCG_0205 (YrbE1B) and BCG_1448 (PPE20) was investigated using peptide pools and PBMCs from BCG vaccinated cattle.
